Conclusion: "Ambiguity inspires interpretation"

Having a hard time understanding why this is the main conclusion. I originally took it as a premise and at most I can see it as a sub conclusion.

The phrase "for instance" here is an indicator that that sentence is meant to be an example, supporting something else. The sentence just focuses on two different interpretations of something, showing that it is this ambiguity that is inspiring interpretations. This supports the initial claim that ambiguity inspires interpretation.

Does that help at all?

Hi, I don't really understand the explanation below. I also had a hard time understanding why "Ambiguity Inspires inspiration" would be the conclusion.

I interpreted as a generalization or a principle that supports the conclusion which is that humans must rely on themselves to find true.

Can somebody please try to explain the other perspective for me here?
